Deep dives
The illusion of digital insignificance
Many people underestimate their vulnerability in the digital age, believing that they are not important enough to be targeted. However, scammers and data collectors do not discriminate. They cast a wide net and target everyone. Generic fishing emails are a prime example of how scammers reach as many people as possible, even if it's just a small success rate. Therefore, it is essential to recognize that no one is too insignificant to attract the attention of those seeking to invade privacy or cause harm.
